Thanks for all the comments concerning repair of the DRSI board.
Unfortunately, my computer crashed causing the loss of all mail files.  
There were several offers to send schematics but now I dont know where
they came from..... HELP!
If you made the offer THANKS! Please send them to my work QTH:

I am trying to get a Nashville company to repair all boards!  Presently,
this is a long shot but who knows.... I have a couple bad ones es got
several replies with 1 or 2  plus the PVRC had 10 ( i think).

Also, one of my boards has been at Paccomm (sic) for months with no
results. 

If all else fails, what are the alternatives??? Interested in something
that will replace the DRSI es operate with CT...
tks, bud- k4isv

The way he gets into your computer without being a **DUPE**
is that you either busted someone else's call, or you thought
he was working you when he was, in fact, working someone else.
I've been checking logs for many years, and I know that this 
happens all of the time, and it happens to EVERYBODY!
 
Assuming that the only possible way that someone calling you, who is 
already in your log, is **DUPING** you is a bit pretentious and 
often incorrect.  
 
Have you ever called someone who refused to work you, saying 
you were a **DUPE** when you knew that you were not?  This is 
far more frustrating than just working a guy who YOU think
is a **DUPE**.  If the computer will sort it out without effort,
why would you risk a Q (With penalties) by insisting it is a **DUPE**
when you cannot possibly know for sure?  Why would you even waste
time considering it??
